Pennywise is very creepy (2 more)
Children were fantastic
It was funny
Wow!
I love the original film and was so unsure whether anyone but Tim Curry could play Pennywise, however I was very wrong Bill Skarsgard is amazing and so creepy!! I am a big Stephen King fan and hoped they could do it justice and they so did. I don't think it is as scary as the trailers depict, gory and creepy yes, but scary, no. I laughed, I jumped and I found myself watching the movie with no toilet breaks and thinking surely it can't be over yet! A well made and totally great film, doing justice to both Stephen King and Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

Well this book started off a bit on the slow side...not like King normally. But let me tell you, once the story got rolling it was hard to put down! And in true Stephen King fashion the ending was fantastic!! My jaw hit the floor & I found myself thinking, "okay, so when does the next book come out!?" The characters are true & real. The plot itself could easily be ripped from the headlines. I can't wait for more!

Plot holes
This book follows the story of survivors of what appears to be a major terrorist attack. It's suspenseful but sometimes feels forced. It's not something I think i will ever pick up again but it's an enjoyable enough read for someone who is a fan of Stephen King. There are many elements to the story that make it clear that this book fits well within the standard "King" writing style.

Wasn't sure what to expect
Picking this at random, I wasn't sure what to expect as it is loosely based on a Stephen King book and I have never been a big fan, but I thoroughly enjoyed all the seasons but felt it had run its course by the end.

Oh god I wish I hadn't seen it. I think I've said before that Stephen King things I've seen feel like they've got to a point and discovered that they needed to end... and that's when... BOOM... aliens! This film felt like it was going quite well until the end... surprise surprise.

I am sitting here wondering where to start with this novel. Honestly, I have never been a huge fan of Stephen King. I have tried to read 2 of his books and had to shelve them after a week of trying to get through them. If it wasn't for my book club I wouldn't have picked up this novel and honestly, I'm not sure if I would have missed much.

Personally, I found the descriptions too much. The book could have easily been 200-300 pages without all of the dull & monotonous descriptions. I love when the author gives good descriptions but not to the extent that Stephen King did. I felt that I was drowning in a deep dark royal blue ocean filled with teal highlights that seemed to sparkle when my body drained of it's oxygen... (see, was that really necessary?). I would have preferred if the book had less descriptions but that is a personal preference.

I did like the plot of the story. I found myself wondering what was going to happen and hoping against hope that everything would turn out okay. I will admit that Stephen King is a master with his story. They are very intricate and I loved how the story actually scared me. This book will probably stay with me for a while.

All in all, I did like the book but found it a little tedious at times. I am glad that I can finally say that I read a Stephen King novel but I will probably not read another of his novels.
